Hey everyone I recently bought a replica bag on e-bay I was told it was authentic. I try looking for original pictures of the bag they are sellig but since Ive never had a LV I dont know how to spot a fake. Does anyone know what to look for?

The best advice i've learned here is about the O vs 0..in LOUIS VUITTON. but ive just been testing myself, look at one, guess then double check.. and thats how ive figured out a lot of them out. soon you can tell at a glance!

idea, go look at all the fakes on ioffer.com and compare them to the authentics in the showcase section. that should help some too, training your eye to spot differances. I am new to and just learning but I am getting better

Another thing I've used is the font on the date code
These are real
that's made in France and oddly enough, the date codes seem to vary depending on if they're made in the US or France.
I have 2 bags from France and they're coded in that font.

My US bags use this font

In any event though, the font seems elongated.

When was it made?
I wonder it was a change that was made after a certain date, maybe?
What's the date on your Lodge?
I'll have to go and look at the actual dates on my France bags.
One is the Bandouliere that I bought in Paris and the other is my mini mono Juliette that I bought from eluxury.
I believe that they're from 02 and 03...
